Score impact using NFCU LOC

What is the credit score impact for using the NFCU LOC?  Has anyone used and saw a score decrease?  I thought I read on one of the threads that you may experience a score decrease for utilizing your NFCU LOC? 

 

Thanks in advance

Re: Score impact using NFCU LOC

They are scored like a credit card since they are revolving.

 

When credit limits get above a certain number, maybe 50k, FICO assumes they are HELOC's and scores them like an installment mortgage loan.
